About Me

CURRENT MISSION

spread knowledge, promote education

ABOUT ME

I eat a lot of cheese. I listen to all kinds of music, enjoy taking pictures and reading non-fiction and also fiction. Hanging out with dave bram. Dreaming about Star Island. I love to learn. I enjoy learning Spanish.

PHILOSOPHY

READ as much as possible, anything and everything. SHARE IDEAS. oh and eat lots of cheese

"We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time."
-T.S. Eliot

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have traveled a lot these past three years and I have had many great hosts. Now that I am living in Madrid with my boyfriend I am very excited to be a host myself!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have had a few negative experiences so far, but they don't compare to the amazing experiences I have had through CS! So many kind and generous hosts, no matter what happens I will always be an avid supporter of couchsurfing

Interests

Music, Movies, and Books

I love too many movies

J Dilla, J Davey, Flying Lotus, Bonobo, KJ, Koushik, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Peaches, Outcast, Gang Gang Dance, Little Dragon, Caribou, Paul Simon, Incubus, Gold Panda, Baths, El Guincho, Q-Tip, Postal Service, Animal Collective, Madlib...there are also so many more, every time I return to this list there is a new artists I love, so I have given up somewhat on updating it

I love Non-Fiction, travel writing is always great. However, I have expanded my horizons this year and have read a lot of fiction which I never thought I would enjoy so much. East of Eden, Savage Detectives and Burmese Days are among my new favorites. Some oldies but goodies are, Open Veins of Latin America, Misquoting Jesus and Howard Zinn's A peoples history of the US.
